WASHINGTON, D.C.—It was a doubly sad day for the Supreme Court. While they were still mourning the loss of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, pink slips were handed out to Justices Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor as they were told to pack up their things and leave.
“I heard about court-packing,” Trump told the press. “I looked into it, and it ends up you can change the number of justices on the Supreme Court! Some people say it's bad, very bad. But I think it may be actually very good, really. We're trying to cut costs and get the economy rolling again! Why are we paying for all these extra justices we don’t even need? So we're doing kind of a reverse court-packing process and getting rid of all the really bad judges who don't like me”

Economic cutbacks brought about by COVID. We can get by with just five justices. Think of the money saved with clerks, staffing...
Get rid of the two seats that FDR had created which would mean Sotomayor and accomplice would get booted.
Sounds good to me. Too bad it’s satire.
LOL, hilarious! Not to mention a good idea.
Target rich environment for BB these days :)
fubb
Unpacking the Court ... Hehe.
CNN FACT CHECK: The Babylon Bee ran a story saying that President Trump was firing liberal SCOTUS justices. This is not true for the following reasone:
-per Chief Justice John Roberts, there are no liberal or conservative justices.
-only Democrat Presidents can fire SCOTUS justices. In this situation, John Roberts' assertion will be declared in error, and conservative justices can be fired.
Ha! Let’s vote on it!
That is the GREATEST IDEA I’ve heard in months!!!!!
Now that chinzburg is toast maybe Sotomayor can have about 10 mojitos and take a header down the stairs into her basement.
I’m still laughing from this one, haha. Best one yet. What’s he smoking.
Choose congressional candidates in primaries who are more conservative in those western and northeastern states, and you can see it come true.
Satire, but it’s a good idea. They should retire every justice appointed prior to 2017.
Love the Bee!!
Let us just call it “De-funding the Supreme Court”.
